In the past 20 years, laser applications in general surgery cases have grown to include open, endoscopic or laparoscopic soft tissue incision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation like:

• Laparoscopic surgery
  
• Breast biopsy
  
• Cytoreduction for metastatic disease
  
• Decubitus or statis ulcers
  
• Hemorrhoidectomy
